Publi News an attractive, user-friendly volume... Putting these diverse OECD datasets under one roof is extremely helpful to users of international data who previously had to hunt for them in various places or might not have known they existed... The OECD Factbook fills a unique niche [and is] a major contribution to international comparisons of statistics. Monthly Labor Review NEW FEATURES FOR THE 2006 EDITION INCLUDE: Many new indicators, including information on the brain drain, tsunami recovery aid, and cultural and leisure activities Inclusion of data on key non-oecd member countries: Brazil, China, India, Russian Federation and South Africa Special focus on Globalisation

Every indicator is presented INTRODUCTION to the indicator ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES NATURAL RESOURCES FISHERIES How well do national figur COMPARE? DEFINITION of at is being d cribed and measured Fisheries make an important contribution to sustainable income, employment opportunities and overall food protein intake. In certain countries, including at least two OECD countries Iceland and Japan fish is the main source of protein intake. Definition The figures refer to the tonnages of landed catches of marine fish, and cultivated fish and crustaceans taken from inland waters and sea tanks. Landed catches of marine fish for each country cover landings in both foreign and domestic ports. The table distinguishes between marine capture fisheries and aquaculture because of their different production systems and growth rates. Comparability The time series presented are relatively comprehensive and consistent across the years, but some of the variation over time may reflect changes in national reporting systems. In a few cases, the data shown are estimated by OECD. Fish landings in domestic and foreign ports As a percentage of OECD total, 2003 Korea 8% Norway 11% Other OECD 23% GLOBAL CONTEXT, history, and for asts Long-term trends The total production by OECD countries has decreased by more than 10% during the past decade. As the world fish production increased during the same period, the relative contribution of OECD countries dropped from 26% (in 1995) to 21% (in 2003). The decrease of the overall OECD production masks various tendencies. While aquaculture production increased by around 8% between 1995 and 2003, marine capture fisheries production dropped by 19%. This latter evolution mainly reflects both the worrying state of some major fish stocks, especially in the northern hemisphere, and changes in bilateral or international fishing arrangements regarding access to fish stocks in third countries waters. Worldwide, it is estimated that around 25% of the stocks are overexploited, while around 50% of the stocks are fully exploited. Marine captures fell particularly sharply in Denmark, Greece, Japan and Spain between 1995 and 2003; in these countries, the annual decline exceeded 5%. A few countries did, however, increase captures Canada, the Netherlands and Iceland all raised their tonnages by an average of 2% or more per year between 1995 and 2003. Japan and the United States remained the largest producers despite their catches declining by 5% and 1% a year, respectively. Most countries increased their aquaculture production, with annual growth of over 10% in Turkey, Greece, Canada and Ireland. Aquaculture production fell rather sharply in Mexico, Finland and Denmark but, by 2003, aquaculture accounted for over 16% of total tonnages of fish production up from 13% in 1995.

It is comprehensive because it provides more than 100 indicators covering the full range of policy areas addressed by the OECD. And it is dynamic because Statlinks provided for each statistical table direct the user to a web page where the corresponding data and graphics are available in Excel TM format. Coverage is provided in such areas as the economy, agriculture, education, energy, environment, foreign aid, health and quality of life, industry, information and communications, population/labour force, trade and investment, taxation, public expenditure and debt, and R&D. Data are provided for all OECD Member countries, and in some cases, for selected non- Member countries as well. Time series provided are variable according to the nature of the indicator, but in most cases provide coverage from 1990 onwards and in many cases have data for selected years going back as far as 1960. For each indicator, there is a two-page spread. The page on the left is textual and includes a short introductory text followed by a detailed definition of the indicator, comments on comparability of the data, an assessment of long-term trends related to the indicator, and a listing of documentation available that provides further information on the indicator. The page on the right contains the data table with a StatLink along with a graphic which provides at a glance the key message provided by the data. For some indicators, there are supplementary tables. Y Young drop-outs, see: Youth inactivity (216) Youth inactivity, 216
